Ore counters are a type of counter introduced in Homelands. They mark a land for eventual destruction damaging the player upon their eventual removal.
Description[ | ]
Ore counters first appeared on Orcish Mine in Homelands. The enchantment is an aura that enchants a land and starts with 3 Ore counters on it. One gets removed each time the land is tapped and at the player's upkeep. Once all 3 are removed the land gets destroyed and the player receives 2 damage. This represents the land being exhausted of resources until it collapses damaging the player using it.
Trivia[ | ]
- In Magic Online, the counter is colored orange as its considered a negative effect and shares its icon with Magnet, Mine, Mining, Pressure, Silver, Storage, Trap, and Winch counters.[1]
